PRINTABLE NOTES


BEGINNINGS
Draw a reference line for the feather pen.
Think of the hand like a skeleton and draw the thumb and first finger as just bones; this is like a stick figure drawing.
Use a line to show the surface of the paper that the pen is writing on.

Go around the stick figure of the finger and thumb with ovals for the shape of the finger and thumb muscles. There will be a large oval for the palm muscle of the thumb.  Draw a sloping line for the back of the hand

DEVELOPING FORM
Use ovals to get the other three fingers in place.

Go around all the ovals to make the lines flow smoothly.

Use a line for the bottom of the palm; it will be horizontal but curve up slightly.

DETAILS
Add fingernails and wrinkles where the skin folds at the knuckles and in the palm.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Draw the bottom of the quill-like a diamond, and the shape of the feather is oval at the top with lines that go outward from the guideline.
Add a sleeve cuff, or watch.

SHADING
Use shading to give the picture depth. There will be shadows on the bottom of the palm, wrist, and fingers. Don't go overboard on shading.
